86,000 tests the most ever. Looks to be a big lab dump yesterday
With more testing, this number should be decreasing and its not rlly doing that.
We’ll all be wearing masks .
Its a big positive for sure. CMs wearing masks will help keep guests safe and their co-workers too. Of course the anti-mask crowd who aren’t afraid of a virus and plan to ignore the mask rules won’t be wearing them once they get through security.
It’s likely there will be far stricter mask enforcement inside the parks than we’ve seen for anything before.
I would hope so...especially now.
One hopes so. But will WDW really be willing to kick people out, which is the only way the policy will have teeth? They’ll likely have to kick out more then a few to really make clear they are serious - are they eager for the news coverage that that will bring and the way some corners of the country will react? How will they track repeat offenders? To what extent will front-line staff be on their own trying to enforce an often unpopular policy?
“Front line” cast (greeter, grouper, custodial etc) won’t be the only ones enforcing. They’re serious about this. How it works in practice remains to be seen obviously.
The news coverage from the corners of the country that matter the most for the demographic Disney needs to continue to attract long term will be far worse if they don’t enforce the rules. There are people just waiting to post videos and stories of people not wearing masks or large crowds massing together. With cases spiking right before the opening Disney will want to be extra certain that they appear very serious about the safety measures. I’m not so sure how unpopular the mask policy is anyway. I’ve seen reported several places where the majority of Americans support the policies. In the poll from the article below 69% favor masks for shopping and in public places. Only 13% believe the masks have no benefit. It’s a vocal minority who oppose it and they can/should be removed if they won‘t follow Disney’s rules.
I wonder how that is to be accomplished?
Oh, I have no doubt most folks want everyone to wear masks. But 31% of the population is still a very, very large group. And they aren’t all quiet.The news coverage from the corners of the country that matter the most for the demographic Disney needs to continue to attract long term will be far worse if they don’t enforce the rules.

Most Americans Favor Mask Requirements, Poll Finds
There's widespread support for both government regulation and policies set by individual businesses.www.yahoo.com
Yes.
From my experience the past few days, every layer of staff is enforcing the mask guidelines.
If they believe they’re doing the right thing it won’t matter.
That's the death rate of documented cases. Based on all studies and estimates it is really a lot lower because there are really a lot more infections. With the recent trend of a higher percentage of cases being in the young, healthy demographic, the "known case" fatality rate will continue to drop as well.
